Inmate Programs
Inmate
Work Force: Five crews working to clean up the highways, County historical
sites, courthouses, fairgrounds, and the parks. The County has estimated
that this one effort of inmate-performed work provides an annual saving
of more than $ 250,000. This program also provides emergency cleanup during
natural disasters, i.e., Hurricane Floyd.
Weekender Work Force: A program for non-violent
offenders who receive weekend time. This saves the county money by performing
cleanup jobs at the schools. This program keeps costs down by not having
to house the offenders at the jail.
Work Release/Support Enforcement Program: Inmates work
to pay child support, fines, court costs, and part of the jail housing
cost. This program is a win-win program, where the offender is able to
maintain their job in the community while paying their debt to society.
